I missed this one too, incredible.

Lovely bits of kit the Corsa C tarmac cars.

Dave - if you get fed up waiting on Mr. Bowyer, or need a spare engine, I know where there is a 1600 all-steel destroked C20XE ready to go..........

Give me a shout.

Not much of an update - but prepped the shell ready to throw a bit of paint at it
Masked up and all good to go :)

fearlless, the corsa b stalks fit the c cloumn, so you can use the full in car loom, and jjust change the light plugs over and extend it where needed.

Great minds think alike Rob


Already done that - Used the Corsa B loom from fuse box across the dash - and then used Corsa C loom for lights Front and rear

Stripped out all extra wiring for CDL/speakers/airbag etc - so now have a quite a simple basic loom for Lights and front wiper - not much to go wrong hopefully

Engine loom will be MBE - Dash Display has its own loom with sensors so a hell of a weight saving over the standard loom :thumb:


Dave

you have pm dude.

Managed to put a bit of colour on it (bright orange if your viewing on a black and white monitor lol)

Sent the link to my mate who's car it was - His responce "Any way corsa should be faster and look better!!!!!! don't dwell on the past, need to go forward." :thumb:

Proper job Dave, loving this thread, hope you don't have to wait too long for the engine, Bowyer is known for his lead times.

5 months to get pistons, but tbf i can get hold of him pretty sharpish now for parts:D
